Advanced technology: Waving to the whale

By Kathleen Atkins
A crew controlling an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was busy with explorations when a rare visitor swam into view. Surely few of us have had — or ever will have — our workday brightened by a leviathan swimming into view. Luckily, the crew had cameras rolling, so we can all see the sperm whale who dropped by and circled their craft. You'll also hear the crew's exuberant reaction to this unexpected event. Enjoy!
